Your ketchup will see you now: Solid-phase properties reveal when yield stress fluids start to flow

Yield stress fluids (YSFs) often have a complex, nonlinear response to stress. Below the yield transition they deform in a recoverable way, like a viscoelastic solid, but above it the transition is ...

A better understanding of quicksand-like fluids could lead to future technology

If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...
